Climate Change in the Underworld: Impacts for Soil-Dwelling Invertebrates
Ivan Hiltpold, Scott N. Johnson, Renée-Claire Le Bayon & Uffe N. Nielsen
| Résumé |
This chapter reviews and discusses the impact of elevated
atmospheric CO2 and climatic changes on three of the functionally
most important invertebrate taxa in soil ecosystems: nematodes,
insects, and earthworms. The effects of climate and atmospheric CO2
change on soil abiotic conditions vary and numerous biotic feedbacks
occur. Many soil‐dwelling insects are herbivores and devastate
crops, which impact human societies through yield decreases;
therefore an understanding of how climate change will affect their
pest status is essential. The chapter discusses potential broader
impacts of soil nematode community responses to climate change on
ecosystems. Soil‐dwelling insects that feed on roots are
usually the juvenile stages of insects that live aboveground as
adults. These soil invertebrates can reach astonishing densities,
with root‐feeding cicadas of deciduous forests of North
America having the largest collective biomass per unit area of any
terrestrial animal. |
